Chapter 3 Configuring and Managing the IP Camera
Setup Windows

front of the IP camera to light when the IP camera receives power or
performs an activity.
If you do not check this check box, these LEDs do not light.
Current Date/Time Display only. Current date and time of the internal clock of the IP camera.
To change the date or time, click Change to display the Set Date/Time
window, then take the appropriate action:
• To synchronize the IP camera date and time with the date and time of the
PC that you are using, click Sync with PC.
• To set the IP camera date and time to any values, enter the values in the
New Date and New Time fields, then click Set New Time.
• To exit the Date/Time window, click Close.
Time Zone From the drop-down list, choose the time zone in which the IP camera is
located.
The time that appears when you view video from this IP camera reflects this
time zone.
Adjust for Daylight
Saving Time Check this check box if you want the time of the IP camera to adjust
automatically for daylight saving time.
Check here if you want
to update the time
automatically from the
NTP server from the
Internet Check this check box if you want the IP camera to obtain its time from a
network time protocol (NTP) server.
If you check this check box, the camera contacts the designated NTP server
every 64 seconds and synchronizes its internal clock with the time of that
server.
NTP Server Address If you configured the IP camera to obtain its time from an NTP server, enter
the IP address of the NTP server.
NTP Port If you configured the IP camera to obtain its time from an NTP server, enter
the NTP server port number.
The default value is 123.
Network Settings
Configuration Type Choose the option that indicates how the IP camera obtains its IP address:
• Obtain Address Automatically (DHCP)—If your network includes a
DHCP server for dynamic allocation of IP addresses, choose this option
if you want DHCP to assign an IP address and subnet mask to the IP
camera. Depending on your router, the default gateway, primary DNS
server, and secondary DNS server may also be assigned. The DHCP
server must be configured to allocate static IP addresses based on MAC
addresses so that the IP camera always receives the same address.
• Fixed IP Address—Choose this option if you want to manually enter an
IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway for the camera.
IP Address If you configured the IP camera for a fixed IP address, enter that IP address.
